Hi Davide,

There are two ways you can access Google Calendar with kdepim on windows:

the simplest way is to create a new "ICal Calendar File" resource and to 
specify the google calendar Ical adress as the URL. (you can get that access 
from the calendar details on google, section "Calendar Address" at the bottom, 
the ICAL button)

However this is a read-only access, which only brings limited functionality.

For full read-write access, you would need to use a google akonadi resource, I 
know of two: one is in kde/extragear (based on libgcal), and the other seems 
to be mostly independent of kde : http://www.progdan.cz/category/akonadi-
google/
I'm not sure which one is the most actively maintained and stable. Regardless, 
you will have to compile them yourselves, using the kde-windows build system 
emerge (see http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/Windows/emerge)

Cheers
Romain
